Who actually makes buying decisions at Caterpillar?

Manufacturing and supply-chain deals involve operations, procurement, engineering, quality, finance, and legal. Digital and AI deals require Cat Digital, cybersecurity, data, product, and business-unit owners. Dealer-facing and aftermarket offers often need alignment with dealer networks, field teams, parts, services, and customer-solutions leaders.

How is Caterpillar organized as it scales?

Caterpillar operates through machinery, power, energy, financial products, and services/digital functions. The dealer network gives it enormous market reach, but it also means technology and process changes must work in real field conditions across customer sites, dealer operations, fleets, mines, job sites, and service shops.
